BREAKING.
Joey Barton has been found guilty of sending "grossly offensive" social media posts.
The former footballer was found guilty of six counts over posts on X between January and March 2024 directed at broadcaster Jeremy Vine and TV football pundits Lucy Ward and Eni Aluko.
This included a post in which the 43-year-old compared Aluko and Ward to the serial killer couple Fred and Rose West, and called Vine a "bike nonce."
